Story of the Month Club

This volume explores how the idea of 'culture' is used and exploited by transnational managers to further their own ambitions and their companies' strategies for expansion. It thus provides a more complex picture of culture than has previously been presented in business studies, in that it deals with the strategic value of culture within organizations rather than viewing it as a neutral concept and, through using qualitative methodologies, gives us a full picture of the lived experience of culture in a multinational corporation. It also considers the impact of global corporate activity on both national and organizational cultures, as well as looking specifically at the ways in which communications technology is used as a site of conflict and negotiation in business. This book will be an invaluable resource for both researchers and professionals, yielding important new insights into the roles of local and global cultures in the operation of transnational corporations.

Review\n"Global Taiwanese is a thoughtful study of skilled labour migration and Asian identity in the twenty-first century that suggests new ways of looking at culture and ethnicity, and challenges the notion that we are seeing the end of globalization. It is also a very enjoyable read!" -- Anne-Wil Harzing, Professor of International Management, Middlesex University London\n"Fiona Moore’s writing goes straight to the heart of the many puzzles posed by the flexible but confounding mix of multiple identities performed by the Taiwanese which can be simultaneously local, national, and global. Her narrative is original and lucid, handling the troublesome analytic problems surrounding multiple identities with ease, making them both plain and concrete. In a phrase, Global Taiwanese is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand identity in an increasingly global world." -- John Van Maanen, Emeritus Professor of Organization Studies, MIT, and author of Tales of the Field\n"In a time of unprecedented migration, mobility, and changing workplace demographics, Fiona Moore’s ethnographic study of the Taiwanese diaspora is a ‘must read’ for anyone interested in gaining a nuanced understanding of culture and identity in today’s complex globally networked communities." -- Mary Yoko Brannen, Honorary Professor of International Business at Copenhagen Business School, and Professor Emerita at San Jose State University\nIn Global Taiwanese, Fiona Moore explores the different ways in which Taiwanese expatriates in London and Toronto, along with professionals living in Taipei, use their shared Taiwanese identities to construct and maintain global and local networks. 
Based on a three-year-long ethnographic study that incorporates interviews with people from diverse backgrounds, generations, and histories, this book explores what their different experiences tell us about migration in “tolerant” and “hostile” regimes. 
Global Taiwanese considers the implications in leveraging their Taiwanese ethnic identity for both business and personal purposes. As people become increasingly mobile, ethnic identity becomes more important as a means of negotiating transnational encounters; however, at the same time, the opportunities it offers are rooted in local cultural practices, requiring professionals and other migrants to develop complex social strategies that link and cross the global and local levels. 
With rich ethnographic detail, this book contributes to the understanding of the migrant experience and how it varies from location to location, how migration more generally changes in response to wider socioeconomic factors, and, finally, of the specific case of Taiwan and how the distinctive nature of its diaspora emerges through wider discourses of Chineseness and pan-Asian identity.

Management Lessons from Game of Thrones: Organization Theory and Strategy in Westeros

This intriguing and absorbing book takes a look at aspects of Westerosi society and politics from an anthropological and organizational studies angle. It shows both how management theory influenced the world-building in the Game of Thrones franchise, and also how students, academics and managers can draw on the series to further enhance their understanding of concepts in human resource management and organization theory. Based on a detailed knowledge of Game of Thrones but grounded in serious management research, Fiona Moore provides a tour of the organizations, leaders and followers in Westeros, giving insights into the fantasy kingdom as well as important lessons managers can use in their own careers. Providing a brief and enjoyable introduction to management and organization theory, the book then discusses how and why modern management concepts can be seen in Game of Thrones, exploring concepts such as leadership, strategy and human resource management through a unique lens. Unconventional in its approach, this book will prove a key resource for students and scholars in areas such as business leadership, human resource management and organization studies looking for new and entertaining ways of understanding the theory behind management.
